Are you continuing to POAS until your confirmation appt?

heatherf1017 · April 2012

I haven't taken a test since my CBE digi on Saturday! I have more tests but, I am nervous to take one in case I am not pregnant anymore. My confirmation appointment is on Tuesday and I am also nervous of a faint line because it is at 10:30am and I have only tested with FMU.

I also am very nervous every time I go to the bathroom because I think I will see blood. I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms either besides some bloating.

I'm pretty anxious...can you tell? Am I the only one?

I'm not but only bc vie had blood work and betas done. Otherwise I'd totally still be poas!!!

Jackquelyn · April 2012

I remember the first time I was pregnant, there was a part of me that was looking for blood throughout the WHOLE pregnancy! I still think about it every now and then with this one, but I feel pretty sure knowing that I had my first one successfully.

I stopped testing after I got my first FMU test. The first time I tested it was the afternoon, so the next morning I took another one and that was it.

It's normal to worry.....the entire time! It will get a little better though!

Thanks Jackquelyn! That makes me feel better!!!

My OB doesn't schedule for your first appointment until 8-9 weeks. So I have been POAS once a week just to watch the line get darker and ensure that my HCG is still rising. And I check the TP every time I go to the bathroom for blood because I am also nervous. So I don't think that is abnormal at all

I second this, I was looking for blood, weird feelings and anything else the first time - the whole 9 months. Although I will say, once you can start feeling the baby move it gives you something else to focus on.

I'm forced to keep my sanity about the whole though, because my husband is super paranoid. He won't even believe I'm pregnant until he sees an ultrasound.

I have continued to poas. My first appt isn't until 4/26 so I don't think I will do it every day but atleast once a week. It is reassuring to see the lines get darker.

I just found out yesterday and I took 3 tests. I took another one this morning. I don't know why I'm scared that the line isn't going to show when it already has that many times! I think I may continue to test every other day until I run out of tests. I have 2 or 3 left. Luckily I have an early appointment, I'll be 5w1d, so I'm really glad about that!

I am guilty of this. But it was only because I still had digis and wondfos left, but now I am all out of them and my bloodwork is tomorrow so hopefully I will relax a bit.

Not since Friday, but I gave my extras to my BFF who is TTC so I eliminated the ease of doing it by not having any! I do hand to go get at least one more for a picture I want to do (it's a set of pictures really, one of me with the + test, one with my *eventual* belly, and one with the baby! I got the idea from pintrest, if you aren't on it I suggest going there immediately!! You can pm me your email address if you need an invite!).

My first appt isn't until 4/25 so I am sure I will continue to POAS a few times a week until then. I'm 15 DPO and the positive is still faint so it is reassuring to watch it progress to darker.

cassoppea · April 2012

I took 2 and had a beta drawn so that's good enough proof for me! I'm also a cheap a** and would rather not buy any more tests.

JLSmith124 · April 2012

I have used up my last 5 tests, so no more testing for me, besides this nausea is definitely confirming it for me lol

FurBabyMomma · April 2012

I took a digital one on Monday morning and then yesterday afternoon I took a regular EPT just to reconfirm.

Since last Thursday I had plenty of symptoms but this morning, nothing. It makes me really nervous but I have seen no blood and my period is due today. I am going to try to wait until next week to POAS and do it each week since my first appt is May 10.

eris1995 · April 2012

If I had any tests left I'd probably be peeing on them but I already used my last 2.

I do. We lost our last two pregnancies and I'm just a nervous wreck. I know logically that POAS doesn't change anything but it makes me feel better and relieves the anxiety for a little bit and I have tests left over so I figure it doesn't hurt anything. I had ordered a large pack of wondfos (100 OPKs and 20 HPTs) and then we got PG on our first cycle so I have a lot left.

And I took an OPK the other day Embarrassed OPKs can also detect pregnancy but it takes a higher level of hcg (at least in my experience) to turn them positive so it gave me some reassurance that my levels were rising. Then a couple days later I had another beta to confirm that.

I promise, I'm not crazy. It just makes me feel better for a couple days and I figure it's better to do it and be able to relax a little then to just worry.

I love pinterest! I think I have that exact picture pinned also

NoeliaV · April 2012

I may POA(nother)S before my confirmation u/s. I only have one more test left, and my appt isn't until 04/25... we'll see.

You're definitely not the only anxious/nervous one.

Becky&James · April 2012

I might, but I might not. The last time my numbers increased pretty well but tapered off after a few weeks. I remember my ob/gyn saying she didn't expect them to be that high but I guess sometimes with a blighted ovum they get higher than they are supposed to be.

velvetskyy · April 2012

I'm super obsessive with this right now. I did with my last BFP and it turned into a cp so I am watching like a hawk. Today is prob the first day I didnt!! (I also have a pile full of left over wondfos so I figure what the heck). My first appt is Friday though so I am hoping for some piece of mind then!
